For a few days, from 23 to 27 November, visitors from 7 countries: Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Slovakia, Sweden, Ukraine and Poland, will come to Lodz University of Technology to participate in the 9th international training conference for doctoral candidates from the Baltic Sea region - BUP 9th PhD Students training "Interdisciplinary-Multicultural-International".
Yesterday (15.11), the results of the vote of the Lodz Citizens' Budget 2022/2023 were announced. The project "Green campus - garden on Skorupki", submitted by employees and students of Lodz University of Technology, received 886 votes, which ensured it took first place in the Stare Polesie housing estate and implementation in 2023.
The number of oncological patients is growing every year, and as a result, the need to develop effective anti-cancer drugs is increasing. A team of scientists from Lodz University of Technology, Medical Universities of Lodz and Lublin and the Centre of Molecular and Macromolecular Studies of Polish Academy of Sciences in Lodz are responding to this challenge. They designed, synthesized, and thoroughly studied the physicochemical and biological properties of two new compounds with potential anti-cancer effects. dr hab. inż. Agnieszka Czylkowska, TUL prof. and prof. dr hab. n. farm. Paweł Szymański.
How to design new and modernize existing buildings so that they consume as little energy as possible? Students of Lodz University of Technology will learn this from Denmark - a leader in the field of energy-efficient construction. All thanks to the "New Generation Engineers" project.
Lodz University of Technology, the City of Lodz, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Denmark in Poland and the Danfoss company signed (3.11) an agreement on cooperation to improve energy efficiency in the building industry in Lodz.
Thanks to the cooperation of TUL engineers, doctors from the Institute of the Polish Mother’s Health Centre and employees of Netrix S.A., the medical underwear project was created. This solution will allow a non-invasive, and therefore painless, diagnosis of children's urinary tract.
This painful condition affects more than 20 per cent of the entire population, not just the human population. It usually ends with surgery or joint implantation. Researchers from Lodz University of Technology, together with medics, are developing an innovative method of treating it. Assoc. Prof. Marcin Kozanecki, from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Faculty of Chemistry, head of the OPUS project, explains the method.
TUL was visited by a delegation of Dutch universities cooperating with Polish universities in the project ‘Sustainable, social design.’
Lodz University of Technology, in a consortium with business partners from Poland and Turkey, will develop a household wind turbine capable of cooperation and integration with other renewable energy sources. The National Centre for Research and Development and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey have granted more than €300,000 for the research.
The appearance of pathogenic nucleosides in mitochondrial RNA molecules can cause severe dysfunction of mitochondria, which are the energy centres of our cells. Their damage gives rise to symptoms of hypertension, type 2 diabetes and Leber hereditary neuropathy of the optic nerve (LHON). Researchers at the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology, under the direction of Assoc. Prof. Grazyna Leszczynska, are looking to identify the cause of these dysfunctions at the molecular level.
This is the question Professor Halina Abramczyk of the Interdepartmental Institute of Radiation Technology at the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology is seeking to answer. The National Science Centre has awarded her nearly PLN 1.5 million for research into the recognition of cell signals in cancer.
Lodz University of Technology is the leader of an EU project from the LIFE Programme to support activities for nature and climate protection and energy transition. The project, coordinated by Professor Volodymyr Mosorov of the Institute of Applied Computer Science at Lodz University of Technology, will be carried out by several European universities, with the support of a Dutch technology company and a Greek research organisation dedicated to promoting disruptive social and business innovations. The budget for the joint tasks is close to €1.5 million.
On Friday (12 August), Vice-President of the Management Board - National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW), Artur Michalski, and the Vice-Rector for Education at TUL, Professor Andrzej Romanowski, signed an agreement to subsidise the thermomodernization of TUL buildings.
Lodz University of Technology implements 7 projects in the Horizon Europe program, including 3 as a coordinator. - We received information about this third coordination of the project on July 5, so the pool of money allocated to us has increased even more. The budget allocated to the university for their implementation is a total of almost EUR 2.7 million - informs Prof. Łukasz Albrecht, Vice-Rector for Science.
Starting on 11 July, a team of students and graduates from Lodz University of Technology, together with representatives of other Polish technical universities active in the Circle of Young Polish Union of Engineers and Construction Technicians (PZITB), will carry out another Workcamp project for a fortnight.
